How much does decking cost in Kenya? The short answer is that the price depends heavily on the material, substructure and installation method. For composite decking, material prices in the Kenyan market typically start at around KSh 5,500 per m². We Do Bamboo's locally manufactured bamboo composite decking currently starts at KSh 5,485 per m² for materials. Timber decking is harder to price with a single figure. The cost varies considerably depending on the timber species, bo

Wall cladding prices in Kenya vary considerably depending on the material, finish and installation method you choose. Standard Mazeras stone can cost around KSh 1,200–1,500 per m² for materials, while bamboo composite cladding from We Do Bamboo starts at KSh 1,815 per m². Premium stone finishes, more detailed composite profiles and aluminium composite panel systems can cost considerably more. But the material price is only part of the story. Installation, substructure, buildi

This week, Dutch national newspaper De Telegraaf spent a day with us in Kenya to take a closer look at the story behind We Do Bamboo. The resulting article follows our founder, Arthur de Leeuw, from one of the bamboo growers supplying us to our production floor in Nairobi, where locally sourced bamboo is processed into composite building materials. The story also goes back much further. We Do Bamboo coverage in Dutch press Before starting We Do Bamboo, Arthur worked as an Afr

For homeowners in Kenya, choosing an outdoor material is not only about how it looks on installation day. It also needs to cope with strong sunlight, heavy rain, moisture and termites, without becoming another part of the home that requires constant maintenance. Bamboo composite decking and cladding offer a durable, low-maintenance alternative to timber for terraces, patios, pool surrounds and exterior walls. The material is resistant to UV, moisture and termites, safe for ch

Understanding Material Requirements The first question is not simply: “Do we need bamboo?” It is: “At what stage of processing do we need the bamboo?” Bamboo Poles Full or treated bamboo poles are generally suited to construction, architectural applications, landscaping, furniture, and further mechanical processing. Giganteus bamboo poles Important specifications include: Bamboo species Pole length Diameter Wall thickness Straightness Treatment requirements Moisture content B

Hotels, resorts and safari lodges across Kenya use bamboo composite decking and cladding for pool decks, walkways, restaurant terraces and exterior facades; built to withstand UV, humidity and heavy foot traffic without the upkeep of timber.

Safari lodges operate in some of the most demanding environments. Constant sun exposure, seasonal rain, dust, wildlife activity, and heavy guest use all place significant pressure on outdoor materials. At the same time, guest expectations are higher than ever. Lodges are expected to offer not only comfort and durability but also a strong visual connection to nature and a commitment to sustainability. Choosing the right decking material is, therefore, not just a design decisio

The Rise of Bamboo in Construction Bamboo is getting attention, and we are, of course, very thrilled with that. We Do Bamboo was recently featured on Citizen TV, bringing bamboo composites into the national spotlight. This exposure introduces a wider audience to what we’re building in Kenya. The feature highlights a simple yet significant shift: bamboo is no longer seen as a temporary or decorative material. It is becoming a serious option for construction. It is strong, dura

Cladding used on modern villa The exterior of a building takes more punishment than almost any other surface. In Kenya, that means intense UV exposure, seasonal downpours, humidity, and the constant threat of termite damage. The material chosen for a building facade needs to handle all of it year after year without constant intervention. Bamboo composite cladding is increasingly being specified for exactly this purpose. But not every project is the same, and not every claddin

Moving Beyond Material Claims Discussions about bamboo often start with material properties: strength, renewability, or climate performance. While these aspects matter, they do not answer the core question faced by professionals on a project level. Specifying a material is ultimately a decision about risk, performance, maintenance, and long-term value. This article, therefore, looks beyond general claims and focuses on practical use cases and decision criteria. For a detailed

Pool design in 2026 is no longer defined by the pool alone. Increasingly, the surrounding space determines how a project is experienced, maintained and valued over time. For pool builders, installers, architects and developers, this shift has major implications for material selection, particularly when it comes to pool decking. Where decking was once treated as a finishing detail, it is now a core component of overall project performance. Safety, durability, maintenance and l

Why Material Choice Matters in Kenya Kenya’s climate places constant stress on outdoor building materials. High UV exposure, periods of heavy rainfall, dry heat, and termite activity all accelerate material degradation. What may seem cost-effective at installation often becomes expensive over time due to repairs, treatments, and early replacement. Choosing the right material is therefore less about the initial purchase price and more about long-term performance and reliabilit

Choosing the right building material in Kenya goes far beyond appearance or upfront cost. Climate is a decisive factor. From intense UV exposure and heavy rainfall to dry heat and termites, construction materials in Kenya are exposed to demanding conditions every single day. Bamboo composite materials are increasingly being used as an alternative to timber and conventional composites. But how do they actually perform across Kenya’s diverse climate zones? And why does that pe

Sustainability is often the first thing people associate with bamboo. And rightly so. But at We Do Bamboo, we believe that sustainability alone is not enough. Building materials must perform. They must handle weight, weather, time, and daily use. That belief is what inspired our Rugged by Nature campaign and it is exactly how we approach bamboo composite decking and cladding. We Do Bamboo's Rugged by Nature ad This article explains why bamboo composite materials are not just

Bamboo is one of the world’s fastest-growing and most renewable natural resources. Its strength, versatility, and low environmental footprint have made it a cornerstone material in modern sustainable design. As global interest in eco-friendly construction rises, bamboo is increasingly used not only in traditional forms but also in advanced composite products that offer durability, consistency, and aesthetic appeal. Across regions like Kenya and East Africa, bamboo is emerging
